Pre-Production: Paper Cut Draft 1 (Live Action Visuals Only)


So that I can roughly see how my film is going to look, I've combined scenes from the storyboard and edited them together with the addition of the camera movements and frame duration:


Whilst the animated parts of the film have not yet been story-boarded, I've been able to deduce where and when intensity needs to be highest by the use of camera movement and the rhythm of the editing. Doing this paper cut also gives me the opportunity to begin inception of the sound before the filming gets underway. This in turn leaves me significant time to perfect the story of sound as well as the visuals.

From the paper cut, I've analysed that there needs to be visual imagery to the religious implications of the film. This being by using line and shape to create the symbol of a cross to represent the Christian faith; and how the character throughout the film will mostly have his back turned to them.

I've also intended from the scene, where the cross lies at the foot of a plant and the camera panning up, creates the confusion as to whether or not the protagonist dies at the end of the film. The imagery implied being that the cross and "ascension" movement implies rising to heaven.

In conclusion, I can see how my film will look prematurely which helps me to identify improvements quicker during the test shoots.
